Brown Town.
After a long day and night driving to Berkeley in my old ass truck to do a presentation at the Grizzly Peak Fly Fishers on the Truckee River (by the way one of the raddest clubs I've spoken at, they drink beer, wine, eat food, awesome) I was not expecting to much from the river today, or myself for that matter. If I told you how many big Browns I hooked today you would not believe me. I only landed two, but had one on that was honestly the biggest Brown I've seen on the Truckee, or hooked into. I tossed my rig up along a bank where last year we saw a huge Brown holding as we floated by in the boat and today this dude took a look at my dry and then decided on the dropper. It peeled off about a 100ft of line in about 10 seconds and then he came un-buttoned. I really don't get bummed when I loose fish, but this fish would have been made into a wood replica. These fish today where red hot even with my fast 5wt I felt under gunned. I will catch and land his ass later, so more to come...

Fishing around the new moon always seems to yield better results, do you agree?
I don't buy into that jargon unless of course a client dosen't do well then I blame in on the moon.
